Business question from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

As a member of the reserve forces, may I point out that thousands of my colleagues have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and some have given their lives, so training is not an optional extra? Will the Leader of the House ask the Defence Secretary to ensure that when he comes to the House this afternoon, he comes prepared to explain the difference between the strategic review of reserves, which the Government accepted in full in April, and the cuts we heard about at the weekend?
